Maui - Day One

We are in beautiful Maui.  This morning we got up at 2:00 to watch the sunrise at the top of the volcano here.  It was amazing.  It felt like we were at the top of the world.  Then things got a little rocky...
We biked down the volcano.  At first it was fun, but then....
I FLIPPED OVER MY HANDLEBARS
Luckily we had those beautiful helmets on.  I smacked my head really hard.  And I landed on the handlebars, and broke a rib.  Ouch!
And we still had 20 miles to go.  We made it...
Let's see how tomorrow goes!

First of all, I am so jealous that you are in Maui. I was just thinking how great it was there last year when we had our girls trip. Second, OUCH! I hope you are ok. I guess you'll have to lay on the beach the rest of the time. darn ;)

Flipping over handlebars huh? I believe in Moab language it's called an endo...I've never written it out before :) I"m so sorry about your rib!
It sounds like you're having fun even with injuries...enjoy the rest!
